The Sunday Still: Quid meets quo and Last Play

Photojournalist Patrick Farrell has joined the blog with his weekly feature, The Sunday Still. Farrell selects one image each week that showcases the best photojournalism by photojournalists from around the world. The feature runs weekly in The Sunday Long Read. The goal of the newsletter, edited by Don Van Natta Jr. and Jacob Feldman, is to put the week’s best journalism in your hands every Sunday morning.

Quid meets quo

November 24, 2019

Getty Images Chief Photographer Win McNamee knows his way around Capitol Hill. When U.S. Ambassador and Trump donor Gordon Sondland arrived for his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 20, McNamee was ready to give context to the hearing’s importance by getting behind the star witness and framing him with the crowd of visual media gathered for the standard frontal view. When Sondland cheerfully glanced over his shoulder, McNamee caught the memorable moment preceding a day of damning testimony that implicated top officials in a “quid pro quo” Ukraine scheme.

Last Play

November 17, 2019

Freeing up more time to focus on his poetry, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett ended his season in suspension Nov. 14, when he yanked the helmet off Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and hit him in the head with it, sparking an angry brawl in the final seconds of the game. TV cameras followed the chaos in motion from many different, imperfect angles. But it was Getty photographer Jason Miller’s still image that satisfied our desire to freeze the moment as pundits weighed in on the career-threatening cheap shot. Following his instinct to keep shooting after the play and positioned on the right side of the field to capture the QB’s face, Miller dominated a series of still images that recorded in sharp detail what is being called one of the ugliest on-field incidents in NFL history.

Patrick Farrell, the curator of The Sunday Still, is the 2009 Pulitzer Prize-winner for Breaking News Photography for The Miami Herald, where he worked from 1987 to 2019. He is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Journalism and Media Management at the University of Miami School of Communication.

Introducing the Legends Range - 3 Legged Thing's first photo / video hybrid products

LEGENDS - A new tripod range
inspired by the creativity and innovation of pro skateboarder, musician and photographer Ray Barbee.

At present our portfolio consists of two fantastic ranges of tripods: Punks - with a choice of 5 affordable tripod systems, and Pro Range, which is designed for greater strength, stability and versatility. Now, we are excited to introduce our new Legends range - the most incredible tripods we've ever made.

The new Legends range begins with the introduction of two tripods - Mike & Jay, and the AirHed Cine. Building on the success of our Pro Range, Legends takes our unique tripod technology to a new level.

To begin, here's a brief overview of the new technologies shared by the Legends Range tripods.

3 Detachable Legs

As a standard feature of all Legends range tripods, all 3 legs are detachable, enabling them to be used as monopods or boom arms. Using 3LT footwear*, Jay & Mike's levelling base can be used to create a table top/low-level tripod or a foot stabiliser for the monopod. We will shortly introduce a new type of footwear - Vanz - to maximise the potential of this exciting new range.
*additional footwear sold separately

O-Pads

The Legends Range features a combination of our most successful grip technologies. The O-Pads are ring-shaped rubber pads, inset with our famous bubble-grip pattern. The combination of these technologies provides better water dispersion and grip than any tripod in our history.

Rapid Latch

For the first time in our history, we are introducing a sprung latch into our top range. The Rapid Latch was designed to overcome issues for photographers with disabilities, and to enable those wearing thick gloves to easily and quickly manage angles.

Awesome AirHeds


The Legends Range products will be available with a variety of highly innovative new heads. Alongside Mike & Jay we are announcing our first video head - the AirHed Cine - in two varieties:
AHCINE-S with Standard Video plate for use with video cameras
AHCINE-A with Arca-Swiss compatible plate for use with mirrorless and DSLR cameras and big lenses with Arca shoe attachments.

JAY & MIKE

JAY & MIKE are 3LT's first hybrid photo/video products.

The first of its kind, JAY is a carbon fibre levelling-base travel tripod, specifically designed to be compact for transportation. Folding to just 40.5 cm / 15.94 ", JAY is small enough to be stowed in a camera bag or cabin bag.  This allows video and image makers to take JAY with them however far they might travel.

Legends MIKE is our full size levelling base tripod. Designed for incredible stability, MIKE has 3-section legs with a max diameter of 29mm. The contoured levelling base is easy to adjust, with a friction control on the base for fine adjustments.

Both tripods have three detachable legs to enable conversions to monopod & foot stabiliser*, boom, and table-top or low-level tripod*, and feature our Rapid Latch and O-Pad technologies.


*Requires footwear, sold separately
